Thanks, Linda — I have to say it is one of the things I look forward to each spring — when those patches of purply blue start popping up — my spirits sing. Ladybird Johnson certainly left a wonderful legacy. I am sad when the time comes and the areas are mowed. Hopefully we have a little more time left. I don’t remember them lasting as long last year — maybe it was the winter!! Other types are beginning to arrive as well. 😀
